The vote for abolition in Virginia failed in the 1830s primarily due to strong societal and economic dependence on slavery, which was deeply embedded in the state's agricultural economy. Moreover, a powerful pro-slavery political faction effectively mobilized public opinion and legislative support against abolition efforts. Additionally, fears of social upheaval and violent uprisings, exacerbated by events like Nat Turner's Rebellion in 1831, further solidified resistance to any anti-slavery initiatives.
